The UX on it is wonky. I used it today for the second time and I searched for a city, Directions to (route), it populated my starting location field with 'Current Location' (like I expected) but then gave me a listing of other locations also titled 'Current Location' (second line had some more detail to differentiate the list), so I clicked one thinking it wanted me to specify my current location in more detail.. no.. it routed me from my current location to the other current location and not the city I searched for. At the very least the app should know that the location I'm going to is the most important part and shouldn't be so quick to assume I'll pick a location near me to replace that.
I know they'll get it right eventually. But this app is a big step back, and not just in terms of the mapping data. You'd at least think they'd get the UX correct even if they didn't have the rest dialed in. Maybe they had to scramble to get this in place for the iOS release.
